Need help with the reverse wire on a 2006 Honda Civic Si.

For the reverse wire, I am looking for one in the dash somewhere.

And clarification of the VSS wire on the radio harness. There is 2 blue wires, and a Lt blue. If you have a pin location, that would be great!

Reverse Light brown (4dr) or purple (2dr) + dr kick or fuse box, top 42 pin plug

Speed Sense blue radio harness

The VSS wire is only present on the LX, EX, Si and Canadian DX models.

if you are using a metra harness you should be able to eliminate some of the choices

I got it, Crutchfield has email me the most helpful documents. I am installed..yay! i love it so far

this site has been helpful also, I just like 1 answer, not everyones opinions on the correct answer...

Misfit, I am not talking about you here.

thanks you for your help

I got you covered

VSS is #14

In case you don't have your manual for the d3(looking at the plug with wires on the front)

If you buy the metra kit, these are the pinouts (from looking at the plug with the wires on the back)

Thanks Chris,

I took the factory radio apart and noticed that the radio had 2 wire harnessess hooked up to the factory. The radio harness for the D3 only uses one harness.

Again, thanks a lot.

For the pac-swi-ps,

you use the smaller 20-pin harness. Buy some t-taps or solder the wires.

White wire goes to a pink wire.

Black wire goes to a brown wire.

Pretty much, you use #4 and #5

#4 to White on the PAC-SWI-PS

#5 to Black on the PAC-SWI-PS

Chris,

can you elaborate a little bit?? I'm not following you on your last post. what do these wires do?

thanks for all the great info.

That plug is for the steering wheel controls and amp wire to activate the speakers.

06+ DX,LX Civic coupes do not have the amp wire on that plug.

06+ DX,LX, EX Civic Sedans do not have the amp wire on that plug either.

So, if you have either of those models, you hook the speakers to the white plug on the d3 and not to the rca connectors.

If you have an 06+ EX, Si Coupe model or 07+ Si Sedan, then you will have an amp wire that will activate your speakers(#15 on the diagram i posted above).

Anyways, If you want to keep control of your stereo steering wheel controls(this is mainly for 06+ civic ex sedans), you might want to install the PAC-SWI-PS module. Follow my last post and do not forget to read the manual that comes with your PAC-SWI-PS module!

If your car did not come with stereo steering wheel controls, then do not bother.

Ok, thanks. Unfortunately the LX model doesn't come with the steering wheel controls. I wish it did.

So, going back to the original question, the VSS wire is the #14 on the 17 pin plug, right?? Is it hard to get to the 42 pin plug on the kick panel?

Thanks.

check out 8thcivic.com and check for the diy audio section. it teaches you how to take the dash apart step by step

Here are some pics of the almost finished install. Everything's working great! Thanks to Chris for the help. It was very easy once I knew what cables to look for and where.

Thanks

Looks very OEM

Yes, I am very happy with the outcome. Plus the wife likes it.
